I got the same reply, exactly. It sounds like there's a chance that we might get in when the next board shipment arrives. If not, it'll be another long wait :(

Your order tracks with mine. My header: Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:42:45 +0100 (BST) So that would be 1442 UTC. Jacquelyn told me, on Feb 4, that my position was 400-500. I would have thought that both of us would have moved up since Feb 4, but who knows?

Me too - I sent Jacquelyn email last night, but no response thus far. I'm sure that they have their hands pretty full, so mine might ship before they get back to me :(

Actually, it is pronounced 'jif'. How do I know? I was working on the first commercial website back in 1995. As such, we had the ears of all of the major online services at the time. The gif/jif debate was in full force in our office. We settled the matter by calling a high-level at Compuserve...

Hmm. My email says: Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:42:45 +0100 (BST) Jacquelyn told me, on Feb 4, that my position was 400-500. Either I've moved up quite a bit, or I'm reading the date stamp wrong, or something else :) Anyone have a clue which?

The future will be later this year, once a wave of smartbooks and tablets floods the market. 2011 will be when the serious uptake happens. Makes sense for Valve to get started in some fashion, and x86 is it.

Thanks for confirming. You have no idea what the word "investor" means.

I'm not sure that you understand what the word "investor" means. For one, an "investor" typically expects or hopes for a financial return on their investment, with the possibility of a loss of their investment, too. This is an example of investors and investment. While there is the similarity...

While I wouldn't agree that the OP is a scam, it most certainly meets the definition of vaporware. Remember, the Duke Nukem Forever team showed demos, too. Wikipedia defines it as: "Vaporware is a word used to describe products, usually computer hardware or software, not released on the date...

Let's see - how many potential x86 Linux clients might Valve have? Thousands? How many potential ARM based clients (think Google Chrome/Android tablets, phones, etc) - millions. And you don't see them porting to ARM, especially when the code is likely to be portable? They're using the Mac...

My theory is that Steam is creating unix/linux friendly Steam clients so that they can deliver to portable devices, most of which are going to be running some variation of Linux. That being said, they're going to be focusing on x86 code for a good long while, so we probably won't be seeing...

Nonetheless, I look forward to using this on Pandora - so I can use the DSP for something, at least. Yes, h.264, VC1 and mpeg2 would all be better. Does anyone know the status of DSP enabled codes for those formats?

Saw this article on Slashdot, fullscreen video on N900 w/ 80% CPU idle @ 600mhz. Obviously applies to Pandora. Links: http://blog.mjg.im/2010/04/16/theora-on-n900.html http://www.schleef.org/blog/2009/11/11/theora-on-ti-c64x-dsp-and-omap3/ http://code.entropywave.com/leonora-beagle-board-demo/...

Sorry Gruso, but I have to disagree with you on this point. You're normally the voice of reason mixed with some boosterism, but your response is not grounded in reality. Sites like Engadget don't just make up stories out of thin air; they actually interview the principals. And I'd be willing to...

Aw shucks, thanks ;) Again, EvilDragon's dedication and efforts are admirable. But seriously, ED - stop arguing with someone that DID help finance this project, stop irritating people that haven't canceled, and just ship the damned product already.

Mr. Dragon, I know that you've worked very hard for this project, and I appreciate your dedication and efforts. But please be realistic about the expectations and perception of your clients, or at least, some of your clients... You _have_ gotten a 1.5 year loan from your early adopters. Just...

The vast majority of buyers are likely not developers; 2-3 days delay won't kill anyone. That being said, if there are going to be any possible fit issues, well, skip it and ship it!

I'd think that, if this is the speed _without_ packet loss, it'd be OK to most users, if not all pre-orderers. Almost as fast as my sad US broadband allows. Large file xfer can happen via sneakernet. Not optimal, but acceptable. I do think that many reviewers will shit all over the Pandora if...

My thoughts entirely. Glad to see that some buyers were not fanatical fanboys. I guess those folks have been largely weeded out. I sincerely hope that something else emerges with a vaguely similar form-factor, less emphasis on the joysticks is just fine. I don't think that I'll ever be getting...

Would this problem exist if the Wifi chip had been interfaced via SPI? Why was SDIO chosen over SPI?
